Sometime when I feel like it. Its' not like they are hard to find.

Since it's damn near half the board?
Have you ever thought of trying to get them published?

Yes.

Well, Nalifan's a morbid sort, isn't he?

So, simple question; Which Murder Ballad?

A ballad about murder. Think of a song about a hero. Change that hero into an assassin and change the song. Ta da. What do you think Lolthite poetry and music is like anyway? Rainbows and roses?

Of course not... I was just checking to see if I already knew that one. And being morbid is not a bad thing. It's actually a 'somewhat leaning towards good' thing in the evil books. And I'm a Brit, I automatically qualify for liking things that are villainous

I always figured it to be angry and sad about being exiled from the surface by the light elves and full of graphic verses descirbing what was going to happen when the Drow finially got their revenage on their enemies (let's ask who isn't included in the enemies list, the answer will be shorter that way).

Sorta like Death Metal crossed with emo goth stuff.

And then there would be songs about Genocide...

Why do I suddenly get the image of a Drow Bard wearing all black and bemoaning his/her position in the world and stating that the now rediculous hairstyle is 'representative of his/her pain'.

From playing Hordes of the Underdark, on a much more serious note, I got the feeling that Drow music is sombre, dark, yet not too unlike Elven music with much darker overtones, since it fits their thematic perspective. In fact, sombre classical fits a bit more than the Emo/Goth style, since Drow are still nobility-based. And probably quite percussion-heavy.

So to get on topic (y'know, commentary);

Interesting, another Jedi in Shadow War, eh? Jedi are always fun... but Sith are still cooler; marriage and passion are allowed, yay!

That would be true for the older works ("classics"), but after millenia they don't pine for the surface. They still carry their grudges, but that's nothing new. The more modern work is going to be centered on drow doing drow things. Like murdering their rivals.

Excellent.

So more death rock less goth?

Dont' forget the occassional "protest song" where a male survives making a priestess look foolish.

The person who created it is often consecutively sliced into pieces/driderised, however, so it is very occasional

As well as any male caught singing/humming or even just thinking about it

Drow thought crime-officers, sounds like something you wouldn't want to meet in a backalley. Or even broad daylight, because knowing the average person's luck, the inquisitor just has to have the 'Daylight Adaptation' feat...

HK-50s?!

You have just earned a bajillion awesomeness points in my book for your inclusion of HK-series droids. Have an eCookie!

Well... Star Wars Galaxies is semi-canon, and it's got a 'Beat the Dead Horse' mentality. HK-47 himself lasted to the middle of the Galactic Civil War canonically via his appearance in the Star Wars Galaxies.

As sad as it sounds (and it already sounds pretty sad)

Every time Orbakh opens his fanged mouth, the urge to see him shish-kabobed on the end of a holy avenger grows stronger.

As I stated elsewhere... "May all our foes be this overconfident, and hopefully more stupid."

I'd say sodomisation is appropriate for the Manshoon clone personally.

With a silver-spiked holy avenger club

*raises a glass* Here's to Manshoon-slaying.

Agreed. The second you described them walking around looking like protocol droids I squeeled like a catholic school girl in heat
